Every year there are thousands of instances where Americans suffer from anger issues. How can a person go about finding the technique that will help them?

There are many anger management techniques that one can apply in their life to help control there anger issues. One of the easiest ones to practice is trying to come in agreement with the person you are angry at.

In the listen approach to anger management the person with the issue listens to what is being said to them by the other people involved in the issue at the current time.

It is the responsibility of both people involve in a conflict to keep there anger under control. If one has anger issues then the other person should not add to the issue. If both of the persons involve have anger issues then it's best for one to walk away and talk when your calm. Anger Management does not happen over night; it takes great time to master the process of controlling your anger. - 31521
